Colonies in Profile: Georgia

•Read the article from the Library of Congress, "Establishing the Georgia Colony" (URL provided)
•Watch the Youtube video "Establishing the Colony of Georgia"
•Mapping: The plans for the city of Savannah in the Georgia colony were highly intentional and methodical. Everything was cultivated around measurable squares and logically built city features. Create your own colonial city map and clearly label it with streets, homes, businesses, and government buildings.
•Discuss:
-What were the two primary reasons for founding Georgia? What benefits did these provide to England? What benefits to America?
-How did the settlers respond to the actions of the Trustees? Why did the original intentions not work out in the long run?
-Did the project originally have noble ideas/intentions? What might they have done differently to make the first plan(s) work better?
